(dies used: Eyelet Envelope, Nesting Butterfly and 4x4 Ring Master Font)

Due to a hiccup in the shipment of May Club Die by Lifestyle Crafts, I was able to pull some strings and get this bonus die for our Club Members.  Your kit in June will have 2 dies, May and June exclusive club dies. Please enjoy this die and thank you for your patience and understanding.  

Here are some ideas using this die:

Grad Card

Inspired by Pinterest (great idea site!) I created this Graduation Card for my Babysitter:

(dies used: Nesting Lace Squares and Nesting Scallop Circles)

Baby Box

I was asked to decorate up an index box for a baby shower (on very late notice) and this is what I came up with ~ the new Bella Blvd. Baby Boy line was perfect as the Mom-to-Be's colors are grey and yellow:

(dies used: Labels)

I used Doodlebug Designs Boys Only line and the cut-outs sheet on this layout, but you definitely could use die cuts like Nesting Scallop Circles and Nesting Frames to complete the same look:

little box

Lifestyle Crafts has come out with so many little boxes and bags!  They are perfect for any occasion and can be made to fit your needs!!  Check out this newest box that I made to share with all my golf partners ~ yes this die will be getting a good workout cause I get asked to golf lots!!

Boy Cards

With inspiration from Doodlebug Designs, I dug out some dies and made up a few cards!

Card

It's Grad time and I know a few students graduating this year and was in need of a gift idea.  The new Pocket Die inspired me again, making for a perfect gift card holder. This time I used the decorative punch out for the front flap:

(dies used: Pocket and Nesting Frame 4)

Invites

I made a couple of Birthday Invites for my Daughter's Party ~ the new Pocket die worked great!!

The nice thing about this die is you can cut it with the decorative design on the front flap or leave it solid like I did on the invite.
